Today’s top stories:
Arsenal
With regards to a possible loan in January, Arsenal have not decided on Marquinhos yet.
I think it’s normal to discuss new winger and not to consider Marquinhos ready yet as he’s super young, he just spent few months in England and so he needs to adapt, improve and then become important part of the first team in the future.
For sure they’re really happy with Marquinhos and his approach also in training.
💬 Do you want to see Marquinhos get more opportunities in the Arsenal starting XI? Or should he go out on loan in January? Let me know in the comments!
Barcelona
Raphinha when asked about potential Real Madrid offer in the future: “Of course, I’d say no to Real Madrid.”
Barcelona have been very clear in their recent internal discussions and planning: Alejandro Balde is considered as an important player for present and future, appreciated by Xavi and the Barca board. Discussions are expected to take place on his contract situation.
Bayern Munich
20 goals and assists already this season for Jamal Musiala with Bayern Munich, literally flying. The 19-year-old midfielder signed new deal with Bayern in March 2021 — it will be valid until June 2026.
